White Stars for Fall

White Stars for Fall

Pattern: White Stars by Julie Herman (Jaybird Quilts)

Book: Fun-Size Quilts

Size: 12.75" x 16.5"

I started this quilt with white Kona cotton and the Timeless Treasures Fabrics, Inc Patt# HARVEST-CM6445. I used it in three stars (top centre, third row left & bottom right) and for the binding. All the other fabrics were from my scrap bins.

Each block finishes at 4" x 4".

I used a white on white print from my stash for the backing.

Straight line quilting in white thread horizontally, vertically, and diagonally made an asterisk in each white star.

About Me

I was only going to quilt "once in a while" when I purchased my Bernina Activa 130 in 2001 but it quickly changed to daily. Luckily, my husband is very supportive of my love of fabric. We, and our two dogs, live in Nanaimo, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada. Currently, I sample sew and teach at Serge and Sew (Nanaimo, BC) and sample sew for Snip & Stitch (Nanaimo, BC).
